PTI’s Michael Wilbon on the Boston Celtics’ Title Chances This Season | The Rich Eisen Show

What is you think the I mean when you deal with story lines obviously the uh the main storyline left uh to mine uh in the association in the NBA what do you have for me from this point forward the Celtics I mean they have they’ve they established a bar right despite that

Loss um was that last night it was despite that loss I even watched it I couldn’t remember with this last that was stunning to be honest I turned it off when they were up 22 and I started getting text M messages um when they’re coming when they’re when they’re losing

Their lead to Cleveland do the Celtics are going to be if healthy they’re the Eastern entrant so but you’ve got a defending Champion out there that lost a six-game losing streak last night too has been playing great in Denver so I’m not saying these well I am

Also saying I I guess I’m almost saying these are the finalist if if you ask me would I have greater faith in Boston versus Denver or an automatic you know bear selecting Caleb Williams I’m G tell you take I think I’m gonna take the finalist I just gave you sure but Boston

It’s Boston these guys have been together what this would be like their fifth Conference Finals if they get that far in second finals and Tatum and brown are $600 million tag team what the Celtics haven’t hung a banner since 08 Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and Doc Rivers in

That group Rajan Rondo that’s the story anytime the Boston Celtics like the Lakers set themselves out there with a big lead in a horse race they’re the story and so they’ve made themselves that particularly over the last month and then let’s see who’s chasing like in

The East I rich I don’t see a real team to push them which sort of worries me could they would they be battle tested there are teams that will test Denver in the west so I think that’s I think is we we only have a horse race now to

Continue with that analogy we we only have um a month left in the regular season that’s it yeah so what what about doc coming midseason uh with obviously Damen Lillard making uh his Portland exit finally shows up in Milwaukee doc comes in midseason I mean and obviously Doc

Rivers spoiling a Celtics party would be quite the story one would think yes it would you know yes it would so and I I rich I don’t know that they have enough particularly if Chris Middleton is not healthy and he hasn’t been right people forget when when nobody was calling it a

Big three you know when when it was Giannis um leading that team to a championship in 2021 but Chris Middleton was absolutely an all if he wasn’t an All-Star in 21 and he wasn’t 22 or he wasn’t 20 he’s been an All-Star multiple times Chris Middleton is an integral

Part of what Milwaukee does and he ain’t out there and I know that Dame Lillard is out there and Milwaukee can be a threat and they’ve looked really good recently although of those wins they had recently of the six game winning streak two were against Charlotte and one was

Against the Bulls so let’s not get crazy I there were two signature wins there at Minnesota and what was the other one just two nights ago as I have a senior moment again the big win they had without Giannis um on the road but so Milwaukee I believe I know I was around

Those guys recently I know they have firm belief that they have turned the corner and they are ready to move to make a move and they are ready to get for April but you know I mean without Chris Middleton I don’t know that I believe that catch
